README¶

Spotify¶

Description¶

This Ansible role installs the Spotify desktop client on Arch Linux systems using the AUR (Arch User Repository).

Overview¶

Spotify is a digital music streaming service that gives you access to millions of songs and podcasts. The role calls package_install with the spotify id; `meta/packages.yml <meta/packages.yml>`__ declares it as an AUR package on Arch Linux and as a deliberate no-op on the Debian and RedHat families, which do not archive the proprietary client.

Cosmos¶

The diagram places Spotify in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role’s deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Purpose¶

To automate the installation of Spotify on Arch-based systems.

Features¶

🎧 Installs the official Spotify AUR package
🛠 Resolves the package through the registry id spotify in `meta/packages.yml <meta/packages.yml>`__

Quick Setup¶

Development¶

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy Spotify onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=desk-spotify full_cycle=false

Production¶

Install Spotify directly onto the target machine: clone the repository, install the OS prerequisites and the repository toolchain, then deploy against localhost over a local connection (no SSH, no container):

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
bash scripts/install/package.sh
make install
source scripts/meta/env/load.sh

APP=desk-spotify
DOMAIN=<your-domain>
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"
INVENTORY=inventories/production
infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
  --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
  --host localhost \
  --include "$APP" \
  --vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}"
infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
  --password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
  --diff -vv

Requirements¶

An Arch Linux based system; package_install sets up the unprivileged AUR build environment itself.
